What impressed you positively?

The students are really awesome and LOVE being at the school. They couldn't stop talking about how great it was. They also stress the importance of family. People can come in married, with children, expecting, and they provide a very welcoming environment. One couple is able to bring their infant to class with them. The school made arrangements to have the lectures projected into a special room for them.

What impressed you negatively?

All the walking. Please wear comfortable shoes (I didn't)! There is quite a bit of touring. And they take you down the street to look at their apartment building (totally unnecessay).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the airport is really really far from the school. My flight got in late (midnight), so I had to rent a car. I got soooo lost! Try to get good directions ahead of time if you are driving. The freeway system there is so confusing! I ended up in Kansas!

What are your general comments?

It was pretty good. The interview is VERY low pressure. I am a very nervous person, and even I was comfortable. They just ask you about yourself. No real ethical questions or anything.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
